Thanks Kyle for your insight into the issue. Like I mentioned I wasn't really trying to directly map the sway bar setting to car performance, just get an idea of the range of adjustability the bars had and how far either side of "stock" they could go using the F/R ratio.

I believe that data shows this adjustability range very well. As I said this does not mean it will translate into X change on the car. I should also clarify, the % change is not an absolute percentage it is only a relative percentage change from the nominal ratio for a given bar setting.

The exercise really showed how much difference there was between different sway bars kits, and how varied the front and rear stiffnesses are between them.
